CycleTough® PVC Series Pipe and Fittings (IPSOD)
IPEX Inc.
High Strength PVC Pipe for Tough North American Climates
CycleTough® PVC piping systems are specifically designed for irrigation systems and sewer forcemains. The constant cyclic surging that is associated with these applications demands a tough pipe and
a specially engineered fitting.
Unlike other fittings, CycleTough® fittings are made with a long-life compound that extends service by 25%. In addition, CycleTough® fittings have been engineered using the latest techniques in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), ensuring low-maintenance performance for the long haul.
Product Details
Engineered for Versatility and Reliability
IPEX CycleTough® high strength PVC pipe and fittings are made with the same high impact, engineered compound as our Blue Brute® systems, and tested to maintain the same high standards.
High Pressure Capacity & Engineered Toughness
CycleTough® systems have a 2:1 safety factor for long-term pressures, and over 3.2:1 for temporary surges. Their unique design features extra material added for reinforcement to withstand the stresses imposed by tough irrigation and forcemain applications.
Iron Pipe Size Outside Diameter (IPSOD)
CycleTough® systems are made with an IPSOD, which is the same outside diameter configuration as schedule piping and most steel process piping.
Bottle-Tight Joints, Removable Gaskets
IPEX’s patented gasket system not only withstands the rated system pressure, but also withstands full vacuum pressures. The removable gasket system allows special oil-resistant (nitrile) gaskets to be easily installed when working in contaminated soils.
specifications
Third-Party Certified
All CycleTough® systems are certified to CSA B137.2, ASTM D224 and NSF. Their versatility means they can used for many applications, including potable water piping, sewer forcemains, reclaimed water piping. golf course irrigation piping. Industrial piping and more.
